lol, nothing about Bono's foundation or Clinton Foundation. Those are way more corrupt than WW or anything Trump related.
Was thinking the same thing.He always has to take a shot which shows that he is not really concerned about the corruption of those organizations out there that are taking advantage of the good in people.

Perhaps we could start a TDS charity for those afflicted with this horrible disease.

Especially with the Clinton Foundation. They comitted Treason and colluded with Russians and Islamic terrorist countries in the 2016 election

I think good local homeless organizations, women's shelters, foster care and orphanage organizations, and places that provide free drug rehabilitation services are all worth donating to and are helping real people in your community get through hard times.

Donating old crap to the Goodwill is fine, yes they make money off of it, but they provide jobs to special needs folks and provide a public service to the community. They aren't trying to be a charity and don't pretend to be, I have never understood why people act like they are a bad organization because they are for profit.

Lots of good examples of outright fraud. Far too many had people use the money to basically enrich themselves like Wounded Warriors and Trump Foundation. Ironically, many have the words Police, Firefighters, Children and Veterans in the charity name itself.

As far as who has probably done the most good and ALSO became one of the richest organizations in the world, you'd have to look at the Catholic Church.
Don’t forget the Clinton Foundation. It’s literally the worst.

SA, all day long.
St. Judes.

Anyone that donates to either political party should just throw their money out on the street. Someone who needs it might actually get some.

Ps. Used to try to support Chik-fil-a. They've been converged. So when they start looking more and more like KFC, you'll know the reason why.

The Donald Trump Foundation used charitable donations to buy a Tim Tebow Helmet and two paintings of himself. The good news is you can't donate it to it anymore because they didn't fight being shut down for fraud.

Best: ACLU.
ACLU?
Lol.

Might as well just go to SPLC or ADL and give it to people who at least have the balls to say they hate everything this country stands for.

The Clinton Foundation. It's run by Democrats. Only an A- reacting by Charity Navigator.

The Trump Foundation. Literally shut down because it was so fraudulent. Paid 2 million dollars in fines. Agreed in court they broke the law and they should be shut down. The using of charity money to buy Tim Tebows helmet or two paintings of himself? That's not even what they were shut down for. That's just fun stories of additional stealing.

These two things are not alike.

I remember the says aUW rep would come to. The office and solicit donations making you compelled to give. Eff those ********
+1

Same when I served in the Army. Back during the 80s, everybody contributed because we received a day off if all soldiers in your company donated. United Way usually appeared first on the contribution form. Then the truth came out about those scumbags.

Last couple of years I've given to the Gary Sinise Foundation. It does a lot of the same work that Wounded Warriors does (Sinise Foundation includes first responders, too) but it is MUCH more efficient with its donations. Sinise seems very humble and, to my knowledge, doesn't take any salary from his Foundation. Also, his band entertains for fundraisers and it's called the Lt. Dan Band - love it! Used to give to WW but they got in hot water a few years ago playing fast and loose with donations so I started looking for alternatives.

Don't forget that several people committed "suicide" after exposing that the Clinton Foundation were selling kids out of Haiti for a multi million dollar human trafficking scheme. Also took $25 million from the Saudis. Took millions from Yemen, Russia, and Ukraine too. But hey orange man bad foundation
